Opis

Shaw shows that high Calvinists played a vigorous and successful part in the response of early 19th-century churches to urbanization. He presents six detailed case studies of ministers and their churches in Manchester and London, revealing detailed social analysis of the congregations. His book is a valuable contribution to the debate about the relation of religion to the modern city.

Recenzje

... makes an important contribution ... this is rich and complex comparative history ... offers a powerful antidote to the stereotypes, simplifications and reductionism that have sometimes dogged scholarship on nineteenth-century religion.
